In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, the warlords in the north and south were separated, and the current situation was turbulent.
Shen Qingyi, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, the largest tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, was supposed to live a stable life in troubled times, but due to an elaborate scam, she was forced to marry Huo Huaijin, the third young master of the Huo family, the great warlord of the North, on behalf of her half-sister.
It was rumored that Huo Huaijin had a violent temper and was decisive in killing. He even had one of his legs blown off on the battlefield and his appearance was completely disfigured.
On their wedding night, with the red candles swaying, she lifted her hijab and saw a man in a wheelchair with a stern face. He was playing with a dagger in his hand and said his first words to her coldly:
"I don't care who sent you. From today on, you are just a pawn of the Huo family."
Shen Qingyi did not expect that this marriage would drag her into a huge whirlpool - warlord infighting, family revenge, treasures from the previous dynasty, and the unfathomable tenderness and cruelty of that man.
And when she finally discovered the real reason why her father sent her here and the secret hidden under Huo Huaijin's wheelchair, there was no turning back.
